The most bizarre sports stories from February 2016

PGA golfer Thomas Pieters took to Facebook to vent after he saw that his official headshot had been altered without his consent. 'Guess the PGA Tour doesn't like my curly hair, so they gave me a photoshop haircut...'

“There’s no age limit to tickets. It’s $1800 for our week-old daughter we just had. It’s kind of crazy,” Britton Colquitt said. “You won’t remember, but I’m paying for it. It’s not about the money because with the tickets you end up kind of forfeiting your Super Bowl check. It’s about the medal I guess and the memories and putting your name in history forever.”

If you've spent any time on social media, you'll no doubt recognize the Crying Jordan meme. But what about the man who took the now infamous photo? He had no clue. “I just did some Google searches and have not been able to stop laughing,” said Stephan Savoia. No word as to whether anyone put the Jordan face on Savoia's head after reading that quote. 

Former NFL ref turned analyst had a rough season. Seemed no matter what he said on TV, he ended up being wrong and it was no different in the Super Bowl, except that once Carey flubbed a call on the biggest stage possible, he was never heard from again during the broadcast. 

The former NBA MVP got credentialed to take pics at the Super Bowl via the Players Tribune. Shout out to the poor soul who had to sit behind him on the field. 

It used to be when your team won the Super Bowl, you celebrated by going to Disney World. But adult film star Lisa Ann said she wanted to reward Denver wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders in her own special way following the Broncos victory. 

John Bel Edwards has been governor of Louisiana for just a few months now, and I have to imagine that threatening to cut funding for college football throughout the state did not bode well for his approval ratings. 

'I have never been more proud of a team. They are now empowered. They've proven that they don't need me and I love it.' Postgame social media tirades aren't just for players any more!

Because there are fewer phrases in the English language more bizarre than 'Bill Belichick Valentine's Day selfie'

Want to feel bad about your station in life? One tweet from LeBron James can be worth up to $165,000 to a brand, so think about that the next time you fire off an angry rant on social media...

Who says those annoying push notifications on your phone aren't helpful? If you're Randy Foye, they even some times do the job that your agent or GM should be doing. 

The Cowboys QB opened up about how early on in his career, he nearly gave up on his NFL dreams: 'I sat in bed and I just prayed to the Lord, and this was a very defining moment for me. I was like, If I’m not meant to be the quarterback here or play quarterback in the NFL, that’s fine. Then I’m going to go back and be a really good assistant golf club professional back in Burlington, Wisconsin.'

' I hear the Rickets family, who own the Chicago Cubs, are secretly spending $'s against me. They better be careful, they have a lot to hide!' November can't come soon enough.

Via The Washington Post: 'Later, he walked the Nats’ complex in a cut-off muscle T-shirt with arrows pointing to big biceps covered in jagged tattoos. The shirt said: “Obama Can’t Ban These Guns.” Pap wanted to wear that shirt to the “apology press conference,” but he was talked out of it.'

The interim Knicks coach learned a social media the lesson the hard way after it was discovered that his Twitter account had favorited an explicit image. The lesson he learned? Just blame it on a hacker, no matter how silly or unbelievable a reason that sounds. 

The Cavs point guard recently missed the first quarter of a game with 'flu-like symptoms'. What does that mean exactly? 'Just imagine how freaked out you’d be if you saw friggin' five, big ass bed bugs just sitting on your pillow. I woke up itching and I’m just looking around and I’m like, ‘Are you serious right now?’ It was 3 a.m. and I was so tired at that point.'

Tim Tebow hasn't taken a snap in an NFL game that mattered in three years, but that didn't stop self-identified NFL fans from naming him the fifth most popular NFL QB in a recent Public Policy Poll. 

'The suit says the money was to cover a four-night stay in a luxury hotel, a limousine with champagne, access to exclusive restaurants and goodie bags. The suit alleges [Cole] Hamels and his party got none of the perks and were denied entry to the event.' Who says being an MLB all-star is easy?

The next time someone says Steph Curry plays as if he's in a video game, tell them they are incorrect. He's better. A developer for NBA2K16 recently had this to say: “To be completely honest, we are still looking for ways to better translate his game into NBA 2K. He’s a ‘rule breaker’ when it comes to jump shooting … he becomes a problem in the video game world where we’ve been trying to train our gamers [to know] that certain types of shots should be rewarded versus others.”

In a recent tweet, the Zen Master became the latest aging legend to not appreciate the modern greatness of Steph Curry: 'Never seen anything like SCurry? Remind you of Chris Jackson/ Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, who had a short but brilliant run in NBA?'
